The Omnibus Has Arrived!

This week, Congress unveiled a bipartisan omnibus appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2014–meaning it includes the final funding appropriations for all discretionary government programs. The bill is so large that Congress voted today to fund the government through this Saturday in a stop-gap measure to give each Member of Congress and their staff time to wade through all 1,500 pages of the bill. This marks the first time in four years congress has passed an omnibus appropriations bill.
